Little birds are singing all around me, on every bush and vine 
D            A        F   G      D       A        D    C C/B  D C C/B 
My pleasures would be doubled if I could call you mine 
 


[Verso 1]

As I've sat here the whole night through till now it's a breakin' day 
D            A      F   G        D    A           D    C C/B  D C C/B 
I'm awaitin' for an answer, kind lady what do you say? 
 


[Verso 2]
 
D                                       A               D    C C/B 
If I could tell to you my mind, I would choose a single life 
D           A               F  G       D     A       D    C C/B  D C C/B 
For I never thought that it suited for me to be your wife 
 


[Verso 3]
 
D                                   A               D     C C/B 
So he wrote to her an answer and he sent it by full speed 
D                   A        F   G     D          A     D    C C/B D 
You know I once did love you dearly, I once loved you indeed

D                                          A             D   C C/B 
But since that time my mind has changed, I loved another way 
D        A           F  G        D    A       D   C C/B D  C C/B 
I love a pretty fair damsel more suitable for me

And it had not been, but a very short time till this maiden's mind did change 
D             A    F  G         D     A     D    C C/B D 
She wrote him in a letter, Kind sir I am ashamed 
 


[Verso 6]
 
D                               A             D     C C/B 
If ever I have slighted you, or ever done you wrong 
D       A        F    G        D       A        D    C C/B D  C C/B
